This 15 minute video gives you a great look into hunting in the Free State in South Africa. I hunted with the professionals at Likhulu Safaris a couple of years ago and had a great time!
Here’s one of the posts I made from South Africa!
Sometimes the simplest things are the most wonderful. This is not my recipe though I wish it was… Egg bread makes all of my favorite things like French toast… Delicious even with just a slice of butter.
1 cup water
2 eggs
4 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons fine sugar
4 tablespoons butter
2 packages yeast (2 teaspoons)
Fix something wonderful on Valentines Day … Even if it’s just for you because you deserve it!
It was really hard to avoid Kale this year. It seemed to be everywhere. It appears in recipes and packaged salad mixes. I even found a Kale salad mix at Costco … But in their hurry to get a product out it was chopped stems and all!

Hopefully, chefs will find something less of a stretch to do with Kale in 2014.

I witnessed this phenomenon once before, it was the late ’70’s’ and a move chronicled brave souls fighting to establish a better world. The world changed dramatically… “Star Wars” was the catalyst .
